Weight-Loss Surgery May Not 'Cure' Diabetes: Although bariatric surgery is increasingly touted as a cure for type 2 diabetes, its remission was only temporary in about one-third of patients, researchers said.
Follow-up of 2,254 patients who showed complete remission of type 2 diabetes following bariatric surgery indicated that 35.1% (95% CI 32.0% to 38.4%) developed renewed symptoms within 5 years, according to David E. Arterburn, MD, MPH, of Group Health Research Institute in Seattle, and colleagues.
